Import bookmarks and history from other browsers in Safari on Mac

If Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox is your default browser, the first time you open Safari it automatically imports your bookmarks and history. You can decide to keep the imported items now, or you can try out Safari and decide later. If you don’t keep the imported items, you can have Safari re-import them later.

Automatically import bookmarks and history from Firefox and Chrome

When you use Safari after using Firefox or Chrome, a notice at the bottom of the Favorites or Top Sites page asks you if you want to keep imported bookmarks and history. Do one of the following:

Keep your imported items: Click Keep.

Remove your imported items: Click Don’t Keep.

Decide later: Return to the Favorites or Top Sites page and import the items at another time. To see the Favorites or Top Sites page, choose Bookmarks > Show Favorites or Show Top Sites (the menu item changes based on what you’ve chosen from the “New windows open with” pop-up menu in Safari General preferences. See Change General preferences.
